Aru Shah and Aiden Acharya were childhood best friends-until Aru left without a word. Years later, they reunite at Mini and Rudy's wedding, forced to navigate unresolved tension, lingering feelings, and the question of whether they were ever just friends. With wedding chaos keeping them close, they must decide: stay strangers or take a second chance on something more. Read my other stories:)

Did Aru want to go to the new years party? No. Would she rather be on her couch in her pajamas watching Lord of the Rings while eating way too much Swedish Fish? Who wouldn't? Her father. Her father wouldn't. He wanted her to go there and "socialize" which was code for "you need to find someone to marry because your life's really sad". It was some party for his law firm he started with one of his friends too, not even like a rager which would've been mildly fun. Aiden's father was a crappy one at best. So when Aiden's dad made him the photographer at some stupid new years party that he was throwing for his law firm, of course he protested. But he couldn't look at his mom so happy about it and still tell her that he didn't wanna do it. So he was still the photographer. Shit. When they both meet, (it's up to you to guess what happens, pretty easy) Okay so this is my first fanfic so please don't make fun of it if it's like REALLY bad but there's an unfortunate lack of aru shah aus that I HAVEN'T read and I'm like obsessed with aruden it's starting to become an issue hahah i'll TRY to update, and if I have writers block or smth i'll give yall a heads up and write something in place of it:) and yes this is very much based off of new years day by taylor swift AS OF NOVEMBER 2025: first place in the RR Presents category for the Fireworks Demigod Choice Awards second place in the Best Platonic Relationship category for Aru and Rudy for the FIreworks Demigod Choice Awards

Aru Shah is an eighteen year old college freshman, who is currently trying to pull herself out of a personal tragedy, when disaster strikes their group. They stumble upon the body of a professor in their college, who seems to have been murdered. After finding out he was being threatened, and after Aru is threatened too, the group hurries to find the murderer--and the search needs to be rushed, after they themselves begin getting death threats. But, little does Aru know that searching for the killer will unearth family secrets she'll prefer left hidden in the shadows... ---- "He dug his nails into his palm, crescent moon shaped scars bleeding against his skin, as, with trembling, sweaty hands, he grasped the doorknob, and stumbled into his room, slamming the door behind him. The same thought echoed in his head: Neither of us are safe here." -Chapter XXIX ---- An Aru Shah Human! AU. ---- NOTE: TW for death threats, murder, gore, substance abuse, and mature language.

Ugh. Aru's mom was filling out a bio on "mydesimatch.com". ANOTHER dating website. When was she gonna stop? Oh yeah-- Aru's mom was the kind that was set on finding a good match for her wedding. You know, rich, high salary, good-looking, etc. What happens when she meets Aiden Acharya, the son of a mother thinking the same as hers? ...They DO NOT hit it off. At all. But that might change when they decide to fake date to be rid of the nosy aunties' prying eyes. Sparks fly, but will they eventually die out?

The tech handed a black and white printout to the brunette woman in the room. The woman reached out with shaking hands and took the photo. She squinted at the mass of gray depicted on the photo in an attempt to make out what exactly the picture was trying to show. Slowly, the woman the lowered the picture and turned to her now ashen faced companion. "This is all your fault!" She blamed, pointing a finger at him. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - This story is not going to go the way you think. Or maybe it will. You'll just have to read to find out. ;)

You have been working in Freddy Fazbear's Mega Pizzaplex for a few weeks now, thanks to a dare from a friend. Working in that child-friendly place was not a concern, it was in fact, an easy task. You were assigned for both day and night shift, the best thing is that you can choose which shift you want to take-of course, you have to notify the manager first, your boss. As much as possible, you avoided the animatronics. The employees in the facility such as yourself would rather avoid the robotic beings, due to their uncanny behavior. There are times where the animatronics would act normal and playful with the kids, but would stop and stare whenever they meet eyes with employees. Staying there for hours was not an issue, not until you began hearing whispers, whispers from places you don't know. Whispers from someone you don't know. You don't know where the voice was coming from, and it's bugging you for a few nights now, whenever you take the night shift. Soon, you had enough of the mysterious whispers and decided to take the night shift in order to investigate where the whisper was coming from, and why you were hearing it. But what misfortune was bestowed upon you when you finally found lead of where the whisper was coming from but... "Officer (l/n), what are you doing here?" ----------- Story by me (y/n) is not owned by me, owned by readers Story Cover Art by Moonlight Edits for cover by me thanks to Canva Freddy and the rest are by Scott Cawthon, SteelWool Studios and others.
